[www.keralites.net] Khatte-mitten khabhrain from around the world for 9/6/13

 

$1 million offered to solve math problem.
Andrew Beal, a Dallas billionaire financier is desperate for someone to find out the Beal Conjecture number problem – which has cast a shadow over mathematic e since the 1980s – so much so he has put up the huge reward.
And this is the theory, as per Wikipedia.
Beal's conjecture is a conjecture in number theory proposed by Andrew Beal in 1993. While investigating generalizations of Fermat's last theorem in 1993, Beal formulated the following conjecture:
If
 A^x +B^y = C^z,
where A, B, C, x, y, and z are positive integers with x, y, z > 2, then A, B, and C have a common prime factor.
If you are a mathematical wizard, put on thinking can NOW and win the 1mn dollar on offer!

One of the said they were not given food whenever they refused to clean toilets (known as mehtar's job back home). And each of them paid Rs.90,000 to 1.5 lakhs to the Mumbai agent.

A hearty breakfast boosts blood sugar levels, improving memory power.
(Me: Not to be taken with a pinch of salt plz…! Brains consume significant amount of energy that comes via the food we eat, and since you don't anything for at least 8-10 hrs at night, it is imperative that we take a good, hearty or otherwise!, breakfast)

News of the day…
Illiterate man sets up hospital where patients decide what they pay…
Ahmedabad (Gujarat, India): A 25-bed multi-speciality hospital that opened on highway to Sanand on Friday has an extraordinary story behind it. Christened Adarsh Hospital, patients there can decide what they want to pay. The land on which it is built was given away for a song by an illiterate mechanic, and facility was given a shape by Dr. Kartik, Shukla, an orthopaedic.
Hussain Momin, now 48, was 20 when his father left home never to come back. He then went to Chiloda whenre he slogged for 15 years in a garage under the kind wings of Ambalal Patel. Wehen he decided to come back, Patel gave him about Rs.7 lakhs – wages which Momin never claimed. Momin started a garage and business flourished.
All these years, Momin kept thinking of giving back to the society. His forefathers had left about 1,200 square yards of land and there were many offers, some running into crores. Then he happened to meet Dr. Shukla, who ran a private hospital in the city. Momin had by then zeroed down upon setting up a hospital.
The hospital was launched with three orthopaedics, four gynaecologists, two dentists and an ophthalmologist, a general physical and a physiotherapist. "Hussainbhai and I have a common dream of helping the less fortunate people. Those coming here do not have to necessarily pay. They can pay whatever their families can afford", says Dr. Shukla.
